Minimally invasive surgical techniques have become standard in equine surgery for a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, with purported advantages including reduced postoperative pain, expedited recovery, fewer incisional complications, and enhanced visual imagery for the surgeon compared to traditional open approaches. Despite these benefits, complications can arise, and the literature demonstrates variability in definitions and reporting standards. A recent meta-analysis highlights hemorrhage, organ injury, poor image quality, and incisional problems as some of the most reported complications, with an intraoperative complication rate of 6.25% and postoperative complication rate of 35.5%. Reporting bias and a lack of exhaustive complication tracking infer that the true incidence may be underestimated. This article thereby aimed to support clinical decision-making by providing practical approaches for prevention and intervention. The ongoing evolution of surgical techniques and expanding research underscore the necessity for regular updates to best-practice guidelines.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.26.01.0057","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,4]],"date-time":"2026-06-04T13:27:38Z","timestamp":1780579658000},"page":"1-9","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Mitigating and addressing complications in equine laparoscopy"],"prefix":"10.2460","volume":"264","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1767-3837","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Lauren","family":"Luedke","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2246-9742","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Dean A.","family":"Hendrickson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4990-5006","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Lynn M.","family":"Pezzanite","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7294-6407","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Jeremiah T.","family":"Easley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1272","reference":[{"issue":"suppl 1","key":"ref1","series-title":"Vet Surg","first-page":"O5","article-title":"A systematic review of complications related to laparoscopic and laparoscopic-assisted procedures in dogs","volume":"49","author":"Maurin MP","year":"2020","unstructured":"Maurin MP, Mullins RA, Singh A, Mayhew PD.
